"Love"

Excuse me if I get a little too deep.

But holding this in no longer works.

My heart is near exploding.

I’m too young to go through this.

I’m too young for all of this ”love.”

My heart has been torn apart and repaired

Only to be destroyed again

By “love.”

Book sense, I have it all.

Common sense, not so much.

So when that voice told me it was all a lie,

I ignored it.

I surrendered my heart.

Getting my emotions too involved.

Giving you the power to determine my happiness.

Hoping that you would teach me what real love is.

For a while you brought up my confidence.

Making me feel as if I was your queen.

Like your world revolved around me.

Only I was left in the dark,

Oblivious to the fact that you had two suns instead of one.

Your beautiful lies wrapped around my brain.

Making me ignorant to the fact

 That I already knew the answer

To the question I repeated.

You’re not as different as I thought.

History has repeated itself.

Taking me one broken heart closer

To my happy ending that I deserve.
